Hi!

I have read about some ppl using the 2.6 kerne,k with some kind of
slackware-current, but not found anything similar to that out there.

Is any (test, prerelease etc.) slack version aout there existant that
uses 2.6 by default?

THanks guys - I just haven't found it on the web and can't wait to try
it...

All the best - slack's the best!

Slackware -current is Slackware's development tree. It has a 2.6 kernel
package but it's not the default, so you'll have to install with the 2.4
kernel and use upgradepkg to install the 2.6 kernel. (That should be
fairly straightforward.)

Here's the Changlog for -current:
<http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386>

You can get -current from a mirror:

The slackware-current directory tree can be found on most Slackware FTP
mirror sites. Where did you look? Try Mark's link to the
"abnormalpenguin" site.

9.1 was the last release. There are no prereleases other than -current,
which is a work in progress. You can download -current and use the NFS
or premounted directory install options, or, if you think you must have
a CD, follow the isolinux/README.TXT instructions to make one.

I looked there, as slackware.org is my start page..., but the kernel
in the directory tree is 2.4.26?

Is

distro.ibiblio.org:/usr/local/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-current/ /mnt/slackware-current/ nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192

a correct line on fstab to mount that directory? Can I install from
there?

Thanks!
